Now.... this isn't something I'd even have included. I thought we were on the same page till you take meaning toward an opinion from ONE carry. All NFL players have ability, ALL are athletes. EVERY Rb in the NFL was likely a stud somewhere before he found himself on an NFL team. You said it is a small sample size but... then you said but. statistics, trends, and data sample sizes of a large size are required / needed in order to make correlations. 1 bounce it outside carry in an NFL preseason game and MGIII's ability / lack of ability etc. Bottom line is - there is just no correlation to be found in this above bolded statement.ajf235 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 5:30 pmWell this guy was seen as the consensus 1.02 rookie pick in a loaded RB class and over the past four years, highly drafted rookie RBs who have been given the opportunity have generally shined very early in the career, except for RoJo (who everyone and their mother knew was a bust) and a few others. However, given that Guice’s competition is a 34 year old guy and arguably the most injury-prone scatback in the league I like his situation better than most “rookie” RBs.Weknownothing86 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 3:10 pm I don't understand how everyone can be so certain of a guy who missed a full year, had injury complications, and hasn't played an NFL snap. It just boggles my mind. We don't even know what he looks like in an NFL game yet.
And I know it’s a small sample size, but Melvin Gordon’s bad rookie season could’ve been foreshadowed if you paid attention to his rookie preseason. In that one carry that Guice injured himself, he showed what he’s truly capable of and it was way better than any of MGIII’s preseason carries as a rookie.
Guice may be a stud, and I genuinely hope he finds success. But, I wouldn't base that off of the one carry he had in a preseason game. Simple as that.
